Sat­ur­day, July 25th at 7 p.m.Theme: Havana NightsA fruity El Tem­pranillo will play well with the beefy dish ropa vieja. If it’s a hot night and a warm red doesn’t sound so appeal­ing, try a chilled Geor­gia rosé with a fresh crab mango salad. Enjoy the deep fla­vors of the Havana paired with world-​renowned wines of Wine­maker Simone Bergese and guest Chef Sean O’Keefe – it’ll be a night to remember!

“As reg­u­larly seen on CBS Bet­ter Morn­ing and WXIA-TV’s “Atlanta and Com­pany,” Sean O’Keefe is Atlanta’s enter­tain­ing and event guru. With Hol­ly­wood as his train­ing ground, Sean is now Atlanta’s own lifestyle expert and guide to the good life. “The small­est idea can blos­som into an incred­i­ble event with the right pas­sion, knowl­edge and cre­ativ­ity,” says Sean. Sean excels at cre­at­ing the incredible.

Sean’s host of skills in culi­nary con­sul­ta­tion, pri­vate chef, event plan­ner, florist, mixol­o­gist, and event designer are lim­it­less and pol­ished, with more than 20 years of enter­tain­ing expe­ri­ence and being of ser­vice to some of America’s most amaz­ing house­holds. His mind-​boggling atten­tion to detail, as well as his rep­u­ta­tion for deliv­er­ing excep­tional events with world-​class ser­vice, has posi­tioned him at the top of the who’s who list of event plan­ners in the city and through­out the Southeast.

Born in St. John’s, New­found­land, Sean spent his early years with his grand­fa­ther learn­ing how to fish, farm and pre­pare regional cui­sine in a breath­tak­ing rural coastal set­ting. Sean turned his life-​long hobby and pas­sion for food into a pro­fes­sional career after mov­ing to Toronto and open­ing his first pri­vate chef com­pany, The House Husband.

It was not long before Hol­ly­wood came knock­ing and a move to Bev­erly Hills was in his future. Eager to learn, Sean embarked on the adven­ture of liv­ing in a city like Los Ange­les. The finest Amer­i­can and Euro­pean restau­rants and hotels were his play­ground as he stud­ied and honed his craft. In his free time, Sean began teach­ing culi­nary classes to both pro­fes­sional and non-​professional stu­dents. With his skills, knowl­edge and abil­ity to cre­ate an event for every moment, he has been able to work for old Hol­ly­wood, new Hol­ly­wood, roy­alty, politi­cians and the jet set.

After to mov­ing to Atlanta, Sean decided to use his broad range of lifestyle expe­ri­ences to turn what he did for the few into some­thing he could do for the many, and proudly began work­ing on his next amaz­ing adven­ture. He cre­ated Sean O’Keefe Events in the spring of 2009, spe­cial­iz­ing in seiz­ing magic in every moment and cul­ti­vat­ing his clients’ ideas into the most gra­cious and high-​style events that metro Atlanta has ever seen.”

Sat­ur­day, Sep­tem­ber 26th at 6 p.m.Theme: South­east Fam­ily FarmsSouth­east Fam­ily Farms is the most inno­v­a­tive “farm to table” project our indus­try has seen. The con­cept is sus­tain­able – designed to sat­isfy the needs of our region’s ‘work­ing’ farmer and the needs of our chefs that are look­ing for locally-​sourced prod­ucts with excep­tional taste. These con­nec­tions are estab­lished through face-​to-​face, “hand­shake” deals. Our word is our bond in sat­is­fy­ing the liveli­hood of our region’s best farm­ers… and bring­ing supe­rior local prod­uct to our customers!
